SAROJINI AMMA (DIED) (LEGAL HEIRS IMPLEADED) – Appellant
Versus
PALACE ADMINISTRATION BOARD – Respondent
JUDGMENT :
M.A. ABDUL HAKHIM, J.
1. These appeals arise from O.S Nos. 1205/1996 and 1206/1996 on the files of the First Additional Munsiff’s Court, Ernakulam. Both the suits were filed on the same day and the parties are the same. The plaintiffs are the appellants and the defendant is the respondent in these appeals. Since the parties are the same and contentions are almost the same in both the appeals, I dispose of both the appeals together.
2. O.S. No. 1205/1996 is a suit for permanent prohibitory injunction against trespass and sale. O.S. No. 1206/1996 is a suit for declaration of title and permanent prohibitory injunction.

No. 1205/1996 is a Serpent Grove having an extent of 11.4 cents in Sy No. 735/1 in Thiruvankulam village which forms the western part of ‘Kanam Vallayil Dharmadevaparambu”.

The basis of derivation claimed with respect to the plaint schedule property in O.S. No. 1206/1996 as per Exts.A1 and A2
